Modular Homes Summary: Advantages and Benefits
In the previous chapters we explored the many benefits of modular homes especially compared with site built homes.  We also discussed some of the disadvantages of owning a site built home.  Let’s review some of the advantages you stand to gain from looking into a modular home compared with a site built home.  Here is just a quick summary of some of the key advantages covered:
  • You can finance a modular home just as easily as a site built home.
  • Modular homes are just as durable if not more durable than site built homes because more materials are used to reinforce the structures and walls during transport.
  • Modular homes offer all the same tax benefits as site built homes do.
  • When you buy a modular home as with a site built home you’ll build equity over time.
  • When you buy a modular home you can place your home in the ideal environment.
  • Modular homes often appreciate much like site built homes, particularly if built in a good location and well-preserved over time.
  • Modular homes are often more energy efficient than site built homes.
  • Many modular homes cost less than site built homes, and few unexpected costs are incurred during the construction phases.
  • You can buy and build modular homes within a matter of weeks, whereas site built hoes may take several months to build.
  • Modular homes come with home warranties to protect the owner from any problems that may arise with ownership.
  • Modular homes are just as if not more customizable than site built homes.
  • Modular homes look just as elegant and distinct as many site built homes.  In fact, you would have a hard time picking out many modular homes from their site built counterparts.  Some modular homes even look better than their site built counterparts.

The Bottom Line on Modular Homes
After seeing all of these advantages, you are probably more interested in ever in exploring your modular house buying choices. Remember also that modular homes are an entirely different breed from mobile homes, which are not built on a permanent foundation and hold much less value and customization choices than modular homes do.  Comparing modular homes and site built homes is like comparing red grapes to green grapes.  They are almost the same breed, with a slightly different appearance.  Modular homes and mobile homes however are like comparing apples to oranges. To completely different types of fruit.  Rest assured your investment in a modular home is one that is well-grounded and thought out.  In the next sections we’ll talk more about modular home design, selecting a builder, site preparation and more.
